Footer Putter Settings

Go to the Footer Credits menu option and enter your Footer Settings. In the Advanced section indicate that you want the widget area to be inserted at the twentytwelve_credits hook.

Menu Settings

In Appearance, Menus create a new Menu called Footer Menu and then add the pages for which you want to have links in the footer. Typically this will include some of the following: About, Contact, Privacy, Terms, Disclaimer, Affiliates, etc..

Widget Settings

In Appearance, Widgets drag a Footer Copyright widget into the Credibility Footer Widget Area and then configure it with the Footer Menu and decide whether or not you want to display copyright, telephone number and address details.

Hiding Powered By WordPress

The TwentyTwelve theme does not provide a hook or filter to hide the WordPress credit and hence neither does Footer Putter.

If you really want to remove the WordPress credit then you can remove line 17 of footer.php or if you just want to hide it for aesthetic reasons then you can do so by adding the following to the theme’s style.css file:

[css]
a[title=’Semantic Personal Publishing Platform’] { display: none; }
[/css]
